Davemaina1 stops the sign-up flow from dropping users' names

A quiet bug where new accounts could lose the name a user typed at registration now has a belt-and-braces fix.

When someone signs up, there's a brief window before their account is fully live - and the fork found that in that window, the user's name could fail to save without any error showing. Anyone who registered before this was wired up had the same gap. Davemaina1's fix captures the name at the moment of sign-up itself, where it can't be missed, and then quietly fills in the gap for existing accounts the next time they log in.

The careful part: the backfill only writes a name when one is genuinely missing. If a user has since edited their display name, that edit is never overwritten. (Mike's accounts here run on Supabase, a common hosted login-and-database service.)

So what Anyone running a legal product on hosted login should care - it's a clean pattern for making sure a user's own details survive the messy first moments of account creation.

Spotted something wrong? Or know the PR text has fresher detail than the writeup above?
